Day 8: Grocery Shopping

Woops! I forgot to post yesterday, so I will pretend it is yesterday and not write in the past tense.

Today was a pretty easy day. I finished my menu for the week and hit the grocery store. One of my neighbors and I swap kids on grocery shopping day so I dropped the baby off at her house after Daniel went to school. Good thing I didn't have Simon with me though because I was at the grocery store way too long. It takes almost 2 minutes per item now because I have to read so many labels. Since I was buying so many items that were not labeled "gluten free" I had to pay lots of attention. I learned that "light" salad dressing has more junk and/or MSG in it than the regular version. I found that Progresso chicken broth is the only one at Winn Dixie that is Gluten Free. I also found some yummy Gf-CF snacks in the "organic" section of the store that I intend to try this week.

For dinner tonight I made Chicken Taco Soup in the crock-pot. I usually make taco soup with ground beef, but I wanted something a bit lighter. The recipe was so easy and so yummy. I pretty much followed it exclusively except used one can of plain diced tomatoes so it wouldn't be too spicy : )

What did we eat today:
Breakfast
Peanut Butter Cereal; Juice (Daniel)
Chex Cereal; Almond Milk (me)

Lunch
PB and J on GF bread; Snap Pea Crisps; Fruit Chews; Apple (Daniel)
Leftover Stir-Fry; Watermelon (me)

Dinner
Not much- leftovers from lunch and bell peppers (Daniel)
